Are the majority of Adobe's and Autodesk's customers game studios? Because that was the basis of the argument that was being made.

And just to clarify, personally, I would not describe JangaFX as a game company myself (as you pointed out, they aren't in the game business per se, but the visual effects business) - I'm just trying to clarify why the claim isn't completely outlandish.

Dunno it's just weird to say you're in the business of who you sell to instead of what you sell.

A caterer that only caters to oil camps isn't suddenly in the oil business, for example. To take an easier to understand example.

Or my brother in law runs a company that does CNC machining and sells to Airbus. He's not suddenly an aircraft manufacturer, even though his parts make it onto planes.

Shrugs. I have no issue with someone claiming that a company making drills used exclusively for oil drilling is in the 'oil business'. However, I would not call such a company an 'oil company', so I take your point...
